Twelve Angry Men is an appropriate title for this play for a few reasons. First of all, because as the name suggests, there are twelve men. And they are angry. Secondly, the book is about a court case for a murder, therefore who ever did murder the man was obviously angry and the twelve men are the jurors that are assigned to figure out the murder case.
The play takes palce in a jury room. This is a place where you're welcome and encouraged to do whatever it takes to get your point across. You go into the room without knowing anybody, which allows you to speak without fear of being judged. In this case, and with most controversial murders, the jury wasn't in agreement right away. Therefore, the deliberation amongst them was fierce, hence the name Twelve Angry Men.
Starting with one unagitatable juror, the group eventually mulled their ideas about exactly how the murder could have happened. After reinacting the murder several times, and a few arguements later they still didn't know if the boy was guilty or innocent. Slowly, but surely, the group sided more and more towards the belligerent juror. Ultimately, the jurors argued their way throughout the entire play until the end, where a consensus was finally reached. The boy isn't guilty and the jurors were done fighting!
